Hype! Deathmatch: Round 1, Match 1: Spider-Aziz vs JJJ's Ulcer

[Spider-Aziz]

The weekend is Saturday and Sunday

It's Friday and Saturday for me.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

We need more individuals, not these groups banding together to fit in!

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

It's Friday and Saturday for me.

You are off Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday? Holy$#$ What kind of job do you have?

 

[Ultron-5]

He claims he never wanted to be a part of the Deathmatches, but he actively participated in the Deathmatches sign up thread and threatened to tell disgusting tales if he was nominated. It's all a put on and it got really old really fast.

Disgusting tales? Lol that sounds odd.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Disgusting tales? Lol that sounds odd.

Well, it is Aziz.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

You are off Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday? Holy$#$ What kind of job do you have?

Sunday is a work day, and today is Friday.

Are we unaware of how other cultures work? My assumption from speaking to him is that Aziz is Muslim. Therefore, his holy day is Saturday, so they get Friday and Saturday off, rather than Saturday and Sunday. I could be wrong. I'm pretty sure I'm right.

The Jewish Sabbath is also on Saturday evening starting at sundown.

So... Yes, cultural awareness is a plus in situations such as these.

Hmm.. I thought a work week with weekends off was Monday through Friday and Sat/Sun off.

Muslims work on Saturday's all the time.

 

[Shlee]

Muslims work on Saturday's all the time.

Then their "sabbath" day is Friday. Either way, that's why their weekend is different from ours. Plus their week starts on Sunday, not Monday like ours.

It's a very ethnocentric view of the world to think that all countries and people and places work the exact same.

...I think it has to do with where you are. I'm Muslim too but where I'm from we don't get fridays off. saturdays and sundays.

in my opinion though the weekend officially starts friday night

It's Friday actually, the holy day is Friday.
Weekend used to be Thursday and Friday, back in September 2006 they decided to make the other day Saturday instead of Thursday.

Day starting at Sunday is something both religions share.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Shlee, I obviously assumed that Aziz lives in the US.

yeah, we go to jumma tomorrow.

 

[W/ Great Power]

Muslims go to their respective mosques on Friday as Christians go to churches on Sunday. They aren't forced to take the day off, but are encouraged to take half an hour or so off work to go and pray.

Edit: Glad I wasn't the only one aware of this.

 

[Spider-Who?]

Muslims work on Saturday's all the time.

So? Plenty of Christians work on Sunday. Just because your religion says you shouldn't work on a certain day doesn't mean the real world will allow you do follow that.

 

[Sawyer]

What an entertaining and entirely on-topic conversation.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

Oh wow, I tied it up.

 

[Perfect Cell]

42. **** just got real again. TheDreamMaster is the Hero of Time.

 

[Kane52630]

Back to the deathmatches...shall we?

 

[W/ Great Power]

Tie.

 

[Sawyer]

A tie? YAAAAAAAAAS.

It is allowed for Muslims to work on Saturdays. They are allowed to work on all days of the week including Fridays (their weekly religious holiday) except during the Friday noon praying time of each Friday when they should gather in mosques for listening to sermons and praying.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

TIED!!!

You ARE the Dream Master!

You... made my dreams come true..... *sniff*

 

[Shlee]

I don't try to assume that anyone is from my own country on the internet, lol. I have too many friends in foreign countries. :P

But I appreciate the correction. I knew that it wasn't Sunday like the Christian Sabbath day. The Jews have their Sabbath from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, so Saturday is the day they don't go out and do stuff and observe "shabbat".

In any case, it's just... Important to recognize differences in people and not just assume everyone operates on the same sociocultural understandings as you.
